I'm in the UK. I have several bank accounts, both personally and for business. For my four personal accounts my last email was last October, and the one before that was last July. For my business accounts I have most set to email me a

I have a professional 'homelab' and a personal 'homelab'. You're 100% right, they can be a time sink. The important bit is to make sure the time is setup not 'maintenance' time. The trick is twofold: if it

It can be easier to hack the device and patch it than determine which device it is. This is nearly always true for the non-technical, but it is true for most technical people as well. Many of the devices in peoples homes that aren't be

Electron is NodeJS + Chromium + Some native control APIs (trays/menus/shortcuts/window management) + update & packaging. So a lot more can be done with an electron app, while still staying mostly in the web based comfort

Farmland is ~69% of the total area of the UK with it being quite stable in the last decade, and most of that being grassland. Solar accounts for ~0.1% of (former) agricultural land, and after 2030 it should be around ~0.6%. The Land Use Fra

My approach: Do use diagrams to explain an abstraction, and attach a word to it. Don't use diagrams to represent the exact state of a system.

This can't be overstated. The main benefit with yarn berry (v4+) is being able to commit the dependencies to the repo - I have yarn based tools that I wrote years ago that just work wheras I frequently find npm and python tools are b

This is quite spammy; you could mitigate it by explaining what you think the "needless suffering" is. Having been using npm, pnpm, and yarn for many years the only benefit I find with pnpm is a little bit of speed when using the c

yarn with zero-installs removes an awful lot of pain present in npm and pnpm. Its practically the whole point of yarn berry. Firstly - with yarn pnp zero-installs, you don't have to run an `install` every time you switch branch, just i

yes and no. Waiting 40mins for every test run is pure pain, platform specific ramfs type mounting is quite scriptable. Yes some devs might need to install a dependency, but its not a complex script.

The way to do this today is to do it outside of node. Using an overlay fs with the overlay being a ramfs. You can even chroot into it if you can't scope the paths you need to be just downstream from some directory. Or, just use docker.

"AirPod" to mean both tiny buds that go in your ear and full on over-ear headphones is a ridiculous collision of naming.

This rule is very important. Like many of the other rules, it is open to interpretation, but it is a line in the sand that defines allowable behaviour and disallowable behaviour. This rule will have an effect on the behaviour of the 'g

Yeah, post codes are a huge pit of an implementation. Each country has their own way of presenting and formatting them, as well as additional validation rules (e.g. valid postal districts). This should be amazing (and is), but if you mainta
